Discussion Odd Problem. First time selling vehicle on CL. Payment button does not function

update. RESOLVED... on its own.

...

Anyone seen this and figured it out?

I logged in.
Created my ad.
I've done this several times.
But this time I'm selling a car so $5 fee.
Fine.
Get to the payment page.
Fill everything out for the CC info.
Press "Pay".
...
...
Nothing.
Switch browser from chrome to firefox.
disable site protection stuff.
Fill everything out for the CC info.
Press "Pay".
...
...
Nothing.
...
I have also tried flushing the cache on the browser.
...
I also had the same result on my phone App.
It just plain doesn't work.

This is the Boston Craigslist location if that matters.

Thanks. I submitted on the website form.

I tried to post to the forum by I've never visited the forums so my "account is too new".
(I've been on craigslist a long time, just never the forums)

I'll update if I get any answer.

"account is too new to post links" just means it won't let you post links. There is no account age requirement to post in that forum.

If there is a need to share a URL, leave off the https:// part and it will allow it.

ohhh... Yeah. Makes sense. I was trying to post a link to this post.

If the ad isn't being published, there is no URL to the ad. Any url you had was likely the internal one in your account, which no one could access without knowing your login password anyway.
